Waiting on Wednesday - Jen Lancaster

So I have decided to change a few things up on my blog now that I am a few months in and really starting to get the hang of it. First I am going to change up what weekly memes I am involved in. I started doing a bunch of them because it was a way to get my feet wet and connect with other bloggers. Now I have enough content that I don't need all of them and I have discovered other ones, like Waiting On, that I want to do instead. So bear with me through some changes. And as always, if there is something you love and/or hate PLEASE let me know!
I also added a What Should I Read Next poll on my left sidebar so please vote!

Waiting On Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine. Head over to check it out and play along.

The one book that I am looking forward to above all others is Pretty In Plaid by Jen Lancaster. The full title is Pretty in Plaid: A Life, a Witch, and a Wardrobe, or, the Wonder Years Before the Condescending,Egomanical, Self-Centered Smart Ass Phase which actually makes me laugh every time I read. (Although, not so much when I have to type it.) And it is released May 5 so I don't have too much longer to wait. (And since that is just four days after my college graduation I think it would make a great gift...hey anyone reading this??)

Description:
In Pretty in Plaid, Jen Lancaster reveals how she developed the hubris that perpetually gets her into trouble. Using fashion icons of her youth to tell her hilarious and insightful stories, readers will meet the girl she used to be. Think Jen Lancaster was always “like David Sedaris with pearls and a super-cute handbag?” (Jennifer Coburn) Think again. She was a badge-hungry Junior Girl Scout with a knack for extortion, an aspiring sorority girl who didn’t know her Coach from her Louis Vuitton, and a budding executive who found herself bewildered by her first encounter with a fax machine. In this humorous and touching memoir, Jen Lancaster looks back on her life—and wardrobe—before bitter was the new black and shows us a young woman not so very different than the rest of us. The author who showed us what it was like to wait in line at the unemployment office with a Prada bag, how living in the city can actually suck, and that losing weight can be fun with a trainer named Barbie and enough Ambien is ready to take you on a hilarious and heartwarming trip down memory lane in her shoes (and very pretty ones at that).

I am a HUGE Jen Lancaster fan and her first three books are among my favorite books of all time. This woman can make me laugh, like full belly laughs in public so that people look at me funny. You don't have to read the books in order or anything, they all stand on their own and they are all hysterical. I have made no secret of my love for snarky woman and Lancaster is the Queen of Snarkdom. I am really excited as this is the first of her books to really look at her past and I can't wait to see what Lancaster was like in high school.


And if you haven't read the first three, get on that, like yesterday!
Bitter is the New Black: Confessions of a Condescending, Egomaniacal, Self-Centered Smart-Ass, or Why You Should Never Carry a Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office

Bright Lights, Big Ass: A Self-Indulgent, Surly, Ex-Sorority Girl's Guide to Why it Often Sucks in the City, or Who are These Idiots and Why Do They Live Next Door To Me?

Such A Pretty Fat: One Narcissist's Quest to Discover If Her Life Makes Her Ass Look Big, or Why Pie Is Not the Answer

Her blog is also completely hysterical, and a nice hold over until Pretty In Plaid comes out.

What are you waiting on?
